A MAJOR company could start offering discounts to customers using water at off-peak times.<\/p>\n
South West Water (SWW), which serves households in Devon and Cornwall, plans to launch new \u201cenvironmental tariffs\u201d aimed at encouraging bill payers to reduce their usage during the summer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Under the tariffs, households would also be offered discounted rates over the winter months when there is less pressure on the network.<\/p>\n
It comes as SSW said some customers told the firm they were being charged too much in the summer when the region is swamped with tourists.<\/p>\n
The South West has seen its net population grow by 300,000 in the last 10 years, the second highest in the UK.<\/p>\n
It comes following the pandemic, as workers and retirees look to move away from cities to more rural locations.<\/p>\n
